I don't know James Youth,
who was named Rönkkö
when I started this article.
I don't know
his origin story,
or his place of birth.
What I do know
is that Youth
released and later deleted
a four song playlist
known as Glashaus
which deserves significantly
more plays than it currently has.
At only six minutes
in length, it is a dreamy
haze of a project,
one that feels
like an international
coffee house
where none of the languages
are familiar
but the music
in the speakers
is comforting.
The playlist has been deleted,
so it's possible
that these four songs
are part of a larger release,
or that the album
will never be released,
and these are the scraps
left behind in the wake.
We will have to
wait and see.
Spin this one
back a bunch of times
and embrace a sound
that will help you
get through the winter
and spring, summer and fall.
